Multirotor Heavy Lift Drone

This article begins by analysing the fields of application of cargo drones at an international level, to then determine the most used configurations and with the best performance to lift important loads, from which a coaxial octocopter drone with X8 configuration was designed and built, with a payload capacity of up to 20 kg and a flight range of 45 minutes. The relevance to build in Ecuador of this type of drones was also analysed and thus minimize technological dependence. The results showed that it starts with 31% of national components and that by executing activities aimed at reducing dependency, in a period of 5 years it can reach 63.8% of national components for the construction of drones of these characteristic.
